December

Other than Christmas, our December was pretty quiet.

We took Christmas card pictures with the kids...to varying degrees of success.  I have no idea how other people get their kids to sit still, smile and look at the camera all at the same time.


Half sweet hug, half choking her brother

Rachel was willing to sit still when on her bike.

Wes worked on getting them to smile by dancing and being silly.  I think he overdid it for this one.

See no evil and speak no evil?

We also did lots of praline making and baking of various goodies for the holidays.  Rachel was a big help (seen here cutting up pecans for pralines)

Her favorite was probably the chocolate pralines.  She was very pleased once the pan and spoon cooled down.

Owen got in on the action, too.
